My sister is in need of prayers. She found out that she has Burger’s disease. It is a rare disease of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs. We don’t know how far it has gone.

Virtually everyone diagnosed with Buerger's disease smokes cigarettes or uses other forms of tobacco, such as chewing tobacco. Quitting all forms of tobacco is the only way to stop Buerger's disease. For those who don't quit, amputation of all or part of a limb may be necessary.

I am getting of work to go with her to find out what they are going to do tomorrow. I hope to give you an update when I get home.

Thanks for everything. DeVon

With the diagnosis made a course of treatment is the next step. Since smoking causes the problem does that mean she will have to stay away from second hand smoke? Also, for you is this something that is inherited.

My prayers are with you both DeVon. Get some sleep so you can be fresh in the morning to be a supportive shoulder for her to lean on.
Hugs,

DeVon,

I hope your sister gets better very soon. Cuties thoughts & prayers are with you both as your family deals with this crisis.

For all Cuties, this is just another example of serious disease caused by smoking. Heart disease, artery disease, aneurysm, kidney disease and cancer of various types. I am so thankful I never even tried it.

Cuties stay healthy!!

Marcelle
